Auction History Result 3f388 TRAPEZE Cuban silkscreen R1990s great circus art of three performers by Niko! Date Sold 1/2/2018 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Undated (probably 1990s) Re-Release Theatrical Unfolded Cuban Movie Poster (measures 20" x 30" [51 x 76 cm]) (Learn More) Trapeze, the 1956 Carol Reed romantic love triangle circus-performer high wire big top thriller ("The wonder show of the world!"; "It Happens There In Mid-Air... In All Its Fire, Flesh And Fury!"; "High high high above them all! ...In excitement! ...in spectacle! ...in fire, flesh and fury!"; based on the novel by Max Catto) starring Burt Lancaster, Tony Curtis, Gina Lollobrigida, Katy Jurado, Thomas Gomez, John Puleo, and Minor Watson. Note that star Burt Lancaster had been a circus performer for several years prior to becoming an actor, and he had done both trapeze and high wire stunts in the circus, and he is supposed to have done almost all of his own stunts in this movie! Also note that the movie has the characters attempting to perform a "triple" which they say had only been performed by a small number of people. In actuality, trapeze artists at the time tried to do quadruple jumps, but they couldn't have used that in the movie because it was so difficult to perform!

Artist: Niko Important Added Info: Note that silkscreen (also known as screen printing) is a printing technique whereby a mesh is used to transfer ink onto a poster. Only one color is printed at a time, so several screens must be used to produce a multicolored design, and it is a laborious technique because it is traditionally all done by hand. Because of the rich thickness of the layer of color on the paper and the resulting depth and brilliance achieved through silkscreen printing, this technique was preferred by many artists throughout many cultures and periods. Condition: very good. The poster has a few light smudges and scuff marks (typical of silkscreen Cuban posters of this time period). It is otherwise in pretty nice condition.
